In Home CPR Testimonials
I have taken many CPR training courses and many of them felt very tedious to me. I was delighted to have Chris as my instructor. His warm demeanor and sense of humor made the hours fly by and made an often dry subject quite fascinating. Chris also had the confidence of someone who not only knows his subject well, but also has many years of teaching experience. He patiently answered everyone's questions and demonstrated all the techniques until he was sure that we all understood his instruction.
After taking Chris' class, I used the safety training I had learned twice in one year. First, my friend fainted on an outing together. I was able to stay calm, maneuver her to a safe position and determined that CPR was not needed. Next, I was able to help a mother after her child fainted. It was a very scary moment for the mother and the bystanders, but my training helped me take charge and direct one person to call 911 and another to get a Life Guard to help us. Then I used my training to determine that she was breathing properly.
I highly recommend Chris as an instructor to anyone who wants to learn CPR and first aid.

Thanks again Chris for a great class. Here is a story for you:
I came home that same evening of the class and had dinner with my 2 kids and my sister in law. We were eating, when my sister in law started choking on a piece of broccoli. I was surprised at how calmly I reacted, immediately went to put my arm under her arms and gave her back a pop. After two pops, the broccoli came flying out and my dog ate it in mid air. She went from panic to laughing within seconds, as did I -- thinking I just took your course just hours before.

Chris was extremely knowledgeable of the material covered and made the concepts easy to grasp. For instance, we covered both the American Heart Association's and the Red Cross' methods and theories on helping a choking victim, and he used his practical experience to explain how those theories play out in practice. It was also refreshing to cover the material in the comfort of our studio, with such a small class (two people!) This allowed Chris to tailor his instruction to our needs, extending time on material that we needed more practice on and reviewing material that we had mastered quickly. His traveling to us also allowed us to ask questions, something he strongly encouraged, and again, his knowledge shone forth in the answers. I would not hesitate to recommend Chris coming out to your site for comprehensive CPR and AED training.

As an independent businesswoman, it was refreshing to work with someone who believes as I do: that punctuality, professionalism, kindness, and good customer relations are worthy goals to achieve. And Chris certainly achieved them. When I first contacted him, I was struck by his kindness and his professionalism. He treated my questions and concerns with aplomb. He called to remind me of our appointment, a much appreciated act, as it shows the attention to detail that I admire. And, finally, while giving the course, he kindly yet thoroughly covered the material, and ensured that I understood it, both in theory and in practice. In short, Chris was a treasure to work with, and I look forward to next year when I can work with him again.

I really enjoyed Chris' CPR training class. It was so fun and instructive. He is so personable, thorough and easily understood. He has a wonderful flexibility about him that makes you feel comfortable when asking questions. And, since I'm a grandma, I'm so glad I received the child and infant CPR training, too. Being able to take the class in a home setting was so relaxing and convenient. I highly recommend Chris' CPR training.

It was a pleasure to have Chris come and teach CPR to our office staff (a chiropractor, a nutritionist and two acupuncturists.) Chris is an excellent teacher, very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. We all learned many very valuable skills and had a lot of fun at the same time!

I thoroughly enjoyed the CPR class that Chris presented in my home. It was informative, easy and very convenient. I also had a friend come and take the class with me, which made the price the same as if we took a class at the community center.
I was immediately able to put into practice what I learned the following week when I started to choke. I headed out of the room and remembered what he told me, which was to not go somewhere where no one would know you are in trouble. I stayed in the room and had my husband help me instead of trying to do it all by myself.
Chris has a great personality, gentle yet in charge. I highly recommend taking Chris' in home classes as the personal attention is well worth it. Plus, the course takes half the time it takes with a big group class. The one-on-one attention allowed me to ask questions at the moment they came up for me, and I know that I would not have been able to ask them in a large group setting.
I would use him again for my re-certification needs and highly recommend him for anyone that wants to know what to do in case of an emergency. I feel confident now that I could be of help to someone if need be... especially a loved one. Thank you Chris for being such a good instructor. It's such a great idea to learn this valuable information in the comfort of one's own home.
